Are you ready?

The safety of the College of Southern Maryland community during an emergency is predicated on advance planning, as well as building awareness about how the plans will be implemented. Students, faculty, staff and visitors will be better prepared in an emergency if they know how the College will respond, where they can find information, and what they should do.

Key to that awareness is good communication. This site contains essential tools for sharing plans and providing relevant information in case an emergency arises at the College of Southern Maryland or in the surrounding area.

Flu Season is Here! Take Precautions

Since the flu can be spread easily from person to person, the College of Southern Maryland has adopted a zero tolerance approach to help prevent the spread of flu on our campuses. If a student or employee is exhibiting flu-like symptoms, he/she should not come to campus.

The College of Southern Maryland's Emergency Operations Plan identifies the College's emergency planning, organization, and response policies and procedures. The plan also addresses the integration and coordination with other governmental levels when required.

The purpose of the Occupant Emergency Program is to establish an Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP), supported by an Occupant Emergency Organization (OEO). Together, the OEP and OEO provide for effective emergency response.
